It took me longer to write the test cases than the code, but the tests did find 
bugs so it was worth it. I installed the attached.

While we're on the subject I moved the definition of 'bignump' and 'fixnump' 
from C to Lisp, since they are easily implementable in Lisp and don't seem to be 
performance relevant. Hope you don't mind too much that I would rather minimize 
the low-level details that the C code exports.

Both patches attached.
